Adani sets up world's largest solar plant

Adani Group has announced that its much anticipated 648 MW solar power plant in Tamil Nadu is finished ahead of schedule. Spread over 10 sq km, it took 8,500 men working two shifts every day for six months to finish, is the world's largest solar power station in a single location. The news comes on the back of government's continued thrust on the solar and renewables sectors. Of that 100 GW target, 60 per cent will come from large solar installations. The government is planning 33 solar parks in 21 states, with a capacity of at least 500 MW each.
